Zhang Ke threw the hairpin over the courtyard wall, and although the sound of falling into the water was very small, the people in the courtyard could still hear it clearly.

Xu Si's mother said regretfully: "What a beautiful hairpin, let your uncle fix it another day, don't you wear it the same?" You kids, you just don't value things. ”

Xu Si saw that his mother really regarded hairpins as stalls, and glared at Zhang Ke in a daze: Thousands of yuan of things can be thrown away, and they don't know how to cherish them, ordinary people can die of thousands of yuan.

Chen Feirong was stunned there, her mood was complicated, and she didn't know what to say. She didn't think that the things Tang Jing gave her were expensive, but she told Zhou Fu that she couldn't get off the stage, and when she saw Zhang Ke throwing things into the river, she wondered if she was a little too troublesome and a little guilty, but she was unwilling to bow her head in front of Zhang Ke.

Xu Wei came out of the kitchen with the dishes and glared at Zhang Keshou: "Why did you kid make Concubine Rong unhappy again?" Don't apologize yet! ”

Zhou Fu smiled, he can still tell the difference between real and fake diamonds, he has made a big mistake just now, so he didn't hurry up and sew his mouth up, took the plate in Xu Wei's hand, and went to the wine house first, Xu Hongbo and Xu Haishan were already sitting inside.

Liu Fen stood in the corridor and saw all this, although she didn't think that the hairpin was really worth much, but she also thought that Zhang Ke gave it to Concubine Rong, and only when Concubine Rong told Zhou Fu in public, she lost her temper, and walked over and scolded her: "How old are you still a child's temper?" "I can't see that she was sick half a year ago, she cleaned up and down, plus she was able to recuperate with peace of mind after being hospitalized, her complexion recovered well, she was not yet forty years old, she was white and clean, and she still looked graceful, Chen Feirong really inherited her good embryo.

The level of Chen Qizhi's banquet is first-class, just a table of dishes, but it takes a lot of work, during the banquet naturally talked about the paper mill, Liu Fen She also cares about this the most, and asked Zhou Fu mysteriously: "Yesterday, Accountant Zhang came to play, saying that this batch of pulp will go down, and the factory will make less than six million, obediently, I have been in the paper mill for 20 years, doesn't it mean that the paper mill has not earned more than a year in 20 years?" ”

Talking about the recent situation of the paper mill, Zhou Fu was full of energy, and it was precisely because of the current good situation that he had some respect for Zhang Ke, a young man, squinting his eyes, joy and smile overflowed from his eyelids, and said: "If it weren't for the district to waive a lot of fees, it's not so exaggerated, then again, even if there is no preferential policy in the district, plus the old factory, 10 million a year is still sure, at that time, Zhao Sanqiang and they resolutely resisted the relocation of the factory, which is considered to be obedient, and their group of people stubbornly refused to pay the deposit, A year ago, he took 600 yuan of consolation money, but he lowered his head and did not dare to look at me, and the Chinese New Year's Eve blocked me at home, asking me if it was okay to make up the security deposit, but he didn't want to think that when I began to persuade him to pay the security deposit, he splashed me with tea water. ”

"Why is he in a hurry at this time, he and his wife came to see me in the hospital last time, but he didn't mention it?"

"The factory will adjust the salary during the New Year, he is considered a temporary worker, and he will not consider them for the time being, not mentioning the interest rate paid by the factory to the margin, and adjusting the salary will make him lose the old nose money, can he not be in a hurry?" Zhou Fu laughed proudly.

Zhang Ke ate with white wine and vegetables, and was silent on the side. In 94 and 95, prices soared, workers' wages stagnated, and a large number of enterprises were sluggish, resulting in a sharp decline in living standards.

"How big of a gap can it be?" Liu Fen wanted to retain the status of a regular employee before, but the deposit of 10,000 yuan was a bit difficult for her family, and she was able to be discharged from the hospital, and she still owed thousands of yuan in medical expenses to the factory.

"You ask about salary adjustments, there are different degrees of adjustment, the length of service will be diluted, according to the position of the salary, the range of ordinary workers will be a little worse, will be inclined to technology and management personnel, Zhao Sanqiang is not a temporary worker, with his technical level, there is no problem in evaluating an assistant engineer, and the salary can be at least twice as long as now."

"So much?" Liu Fen's eyes lit up with gold, "10,000 yuan deposit, won't you come back in two years?" As a result, how many times does Director Zhou's salary have to rise? ”

Zhou Fu said with a smile: "My work relationship has long been transferred to Kumho, and Assistant Xu is a colleague, and this salary adjustment in the paper mill has nothing to do with me?" ”

Liu Fen glanced at Xu Si and asked with a smile: "How much does Xu Si get a month in Kumho, no less than Zhou Fu, right?" Zhou Wenbin, this kid, was still clamoring to buy a BP machine a few days ago, and it took him less than two months to get to Kumho, right? ”

"How can I compare with Director Zhou?" Xu Si smiled, "I'm just an ordinary employee in Kumho, and Director Zhou is the management. ”

Zhou Fu really doesn't know how much Xu Si takes a month, but seeing that her relationship with Zhang Ke and Xie Wanqing is so close, the salary will never be less than that of him and Jiang Wei. He is not very aware of the turmoil that occurred at the top of Haizhou City last summer, and there is no need to show off his salary at the wine table, he knows in his heart that Liu Fenti still cares about her work arrangements when she returns to the factory after the year.

Sure enough, Liu Fen then joked: "Director Zhou doesn't belong to the paper mill anymore, so I invited you to drink today, so it's not in vain that I invite you to drink today?" ”

"This meal is not in vain, isn't the paper mill still in Kumho's control? You are the old accountant of the paper mill, and no one can wronged you......"

Zhang Ke raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Fu, and said with a smile to Xu Hongbo: "Dare to guarantee the ticket, listen to the tone, Director Zhou said nothing in Kumho......"

Zhou Fu let Zhang Ke rush to say this, stunned there, dared to say the wrong thing again, and hurriedly changed his words: "What are the rules in the factory, you have to follow the rules, and you will not treat the old employees badly." ”

As soon as Zhou Fu changed his words, the atmosphere on the table changed.

Liu Fen relied on the innate advantages of women, she could say something half-truthful and half-false, and she would not arouse disgust, and asked Zhou Fu: "If I don't make up enough deposit, I can only work as a temporary worker when I go back to the paper mill, and the accounting office will ask for temporary workers?" ”

"Hehe," Zhou Fu smiled, he knew that Xie Wanqing was the general manager of Kumho at the moment, and he could take the matter of the consolation money a few years ago, Zhang Ke could still call the shots, and he couldn't figure out what Zhang Ke meant, so he could only answer Liu Fen ambiguously: "I paid the deposit." The paper mill is up, are you still afraid that the factory will fail? Even if you want to go bankrupt one day, dismantle machinery and sell factories, you must first repay the deposit paid by the employees. To put it bluntly, after the Spring Festival, the factory is not short of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, and paying the deposit can be regarded as an increase in benefits for everyone, and the interest is much more suitable than depositing in the bank. Many people in the factory got the interest money at the end of the year, and they came to ask if they could pay some more deposits. Let's talk about Zhou Wenbin, he is out of line with the paper mill now, you ask him if he is happy that the factory will return the deposit to him? ”

Liu Fen sighed and said, "My family's situation can be compared with yours, or you can lend me 10,000 yuan, and the interest money given by the factory will be yours." ”

"If you want to borrow money from me, your Chen Qi doesn't suspect that I have ......anything to do with you," Zhou Fu smiled, "I still have to go home and ask my mother-in-law." ”

"Chew your tongue," Liu Fen's old face flushed, "You nod your head, I'll borrow this money from Zhang Cui." Liu Fen has been working as an accountant in a paper mill, who is clean and who is honest, she knows best in her heart, Zhou Fu and his wife's traditional Chinese medicine factory are about to close down, and it would be good to be able to pay living expenses, listening to Zhou Fu's tone, she thought: He took a lot of money in Kumho?

Liu Fen thought about it carefully, after being an old accountant for more than ten years, there is no problem in returning to the factory to evaluate the assistant accountant, and the salary is much higher than before, so the deposit must be made up no matter what.

Zhou Fu smiled and said: "I really want to lend you money, in the future, your Chen Qi will be suspicious, and he will not invite me to drink, and I will not do this business." Otherwise, I will lend the money to Zhang Ke, and you will borrow it from Zhang Ke? ”

Zhang Ke was chewing the vegetables, looked up and said, "Pulled it on me again?" ”

Since the summer, I heard Xu Haishan say that the money that his family lacked was given by Zhang Ke, and Song Peiming, the mayor of the southern district of the city, also invited him to this broken shop to drink, and I heard Zhou Wenbin say a few days ago that he is almost full-time driving for this boy now, until the consolation money of the previous year, in Liu Fen's opinion, this boy gave her too much mystery. Seeing that Zhou Fu had to look at the boy's face when he ate at the dinner table, Liu Fen was a little proud, sandwiched a piece of meat into Zhang Ke's bowl, and said with a smile: "Aunt Fen is counting on you to nod." ”

Zhang Ke took the slices of meat and rice into his mouth, chewed a few bites, and then raised his head and said, "Aunt Fen, is the interest money still calculated?" ”

"Count, count, I can't borrow money to take advantage of this again, how much interest the factory can give you."

Zhang Ke turned his head to look at Zhou Fu again: "Director Zhou won't calculate the interest money if he lends me money, right?" ”

Zhou Fu's eyes were green, and the diamond-encrusted hairpin eyes were thrown into the river without blinking, and at this time, he only had a small amount of money of more than 1,000 this year, and he only said in a muffled voice: "How can I have the face to calculate interest money with you?" ”

"That's okay," Zhang Ke put the food in his mouth down and nodded, "I'll do it like this, Sister Xu Si, you can help me find Director Zhou and ask for money for Aunt Fen." He asked Zhou Fu again, "Do you want to write you an IOU now?" ”

"No, no need to ......" Zhou Fu regretted sparing this bend, it was better to lend the money directly to Liu Fen.

"Yes, yes, lest you have a bad relationship with your wife." As he spoke, Zhang Ke looked up at Chen Feirong.

Chen Feirong didn't understand, and when she saw Zhang Ke looking at her, she looked down at the bowl.

Liu Fen looked at her daughter's tense little face, ignored Zhang Ke, and couldn't get angry in her heart: "Go get paper and pen." ”

Chen Feirong was stunned, biting her lower lip, her delicate face had a complicated expression, and she hesitated to get a pen and paper.

Xu Haishan said with a smile: "How urgent is it, can't you eat it?" ”

"Also, after eating, I have to let Director Zhou get the money, and we are waiting for him here."

Zhou Fu's intestines began to regret it, who in ordinary people's families has nothing to put tens of thousands of yuan in cash these years, and they don't know if they are allowed to withdraw money when they go to the bank on the second day of the new year, so that Zhang Ke can squeeze it, and he can still say no. Probably because he remembered the incident where he talked a lot in the morning, Zhou Fu sighed in his heart and thought he was unlucky.

After lunch, Zhou Fu hurried back to raise money, but fortunately, Zhou Wenbin had not bought a pager yet, and returned to Liu Fen's house with Zhou Wenbin in half an hour. Xu Haishan was helping Chen Qi pick up tomorrow's dishes, and when he saw Zhou Fu coming over with a stack of envelopes in his hand, he said with a smile: "Director Zhou really rushed back to get the money." ”

"What about Zhang Ke?"

"In the chess courtyard behind Teacher Xu," Chen Qi also had some opinions, but he didn't expect Zhou Fu to rush back to get the money, "I'll ask Liu Fen to write you an IOU." ”

Zhou Fu didn't dare to take Zhang Ke's words as a joke, shook his head, and said: "This money really has to go through Zhang Ke's hands, it's not a joke." "Take the money and go to the Taoist temple to find Zhang Ke.
